This outline was originally shared on the Slowcore HQ channel on Farcaster as a discussion prompt and work in progress. Upon further reflection I decided it belongs in the Slowcore Nerd Notes series as-is, so I'm importing it into Paragraph and Zora.
sustainable income and cash flow
integration into positive-sum reciprocity networks (e.g., Farcaster scenius)
care and support infrastructure
incubation time (creativity is cyclical)
time spaciousness
attention and focus
readers discovering and receiving value from the work
pageviews
follower counts/audience growth metrics
going viral
becoming a social media influencer, teacher, etc.
joining several DAOs, group chats, membership communities, etc. (more stuff to track = less attention available for deep work)
speculation on the future value of the creative work
reader "engagement"
The points on the second list are the expected "creator economy" norms in web3 for anyone who hopes to monetize, i.e. turn a creative endeavor into a livelihood.
Sustainable income and cash flow can be more challenging for writers who take a slowcore approach, i.e., optimize for items 4-7 on the first list.

I've been nudging myself to publish more of my work on @paragraph and /zora, rather than allow 50+ "incomplete" drafts to sit in my files for months and get stale. This 200-word outline was first shared as a WIP on the /slowcore-hq channel in April. It's now part of the Slowcore Nerd Notes series. For some things, done really is better than perfect. https://paragraph.xyz/@danicaswanson/slowcore-nerd-notes-on-sustaining-writing-as-an-art-form?referrer=danicaswanson.eth
Hi @notabot - are you on duty? It seems I'm back to having to like my own casts (and those of others whose casts should have been auto-approved) to get them to show up in the main feed today. This one is an example.
shippers get strippers 🚢🚢 762 $DEGEN
This 'shipper' prefers degen. Thanks. 🎩
yeah but that doesn't rhyme 🤣
Here's to encouraging more nerd notes. 😀 198 $DEGEN
Much appreciated. More on the way as I continue to clean out my backlog.
